Why did we decide to create this feature?

Bookmarks is not a new feature for eZ. In fact, if you all recall, bookmarks was present in eZ Publish. We knew back then that this was a popular and useful feature for our clients. Unfortunately, this feature was missing both in eZ Platform v1 and v2 because we needed to focus on improving our software architecture and user interface. We also needed to prioritize the most used features and decided to migrate the missing features as we progressed. We are excited now to reintroduce the bookmarks feature.

Bookmarks Capabilities

Bookmarks is a simple yet very useful and powerful feature. It is a feature that is guaranteed to improve the editorial experience. It's important to note that bookmarks are personal. This means that the bookmarks are directly related to an editor’s personal account. Editors can easily manage their bookmarks directly from the administrator interface. This feature will speed up the editors work by providing them a shortcut to their content items they are working on. This is extremely beneficial as it will reduce the amount of processes that need to be undertaken to publish your content. For example, a publishing company can publish anywhere from 100-200 content items a day. Rather than constantly browse their content repository they can simply bookmark all the content items they are working on and then edit and publish them once they are ready.

Another major benefit is that editors can streamline their work and see what they are working on in front of them. For example, imagine your editors are working on a blogpost and have assets in different folders and locations. Your editors can now bookmark all these different assets and have them organized and on display on the administrator interface.

Additionally, bookmarks can also be accessed through the universal discovery widget. If editors want to embed in the rich text editors, they can go to bookmarks and select and embed a content item or image.

We have no doubt that this feature will allow your editorial teams to be more efficient and save time as they deal with multiple content items. There will be many more exciting features in the upcoming release that we look forward to unveiling next Friday. In the meantime, if you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment below, on discuss.ezplatform.com or productmanagement@ez.no.

Bookmarks Capabilities

Bookmarks is a simple yet very useful and powerful feature that will improve the editorial experience. Editors can easily create, access and delete their bookmarks directly from the administrator interface. It's important to note that bookmarks are personal. This means that the bookmarks are directly related to an editor’s account, so up to each editor to have his own list. This feature will speed up the editors' work by providing them a shortcut to the content items they need in their work and ultimately letting them do their work faster and better.

Bookmarks can be used by editors to streamline their work and quickly see and access what they are working on. For example, imagine your editors are working on a blogpost and have assets in different folders and locations. Your editors can now bookmark all these different assets and have them organized and on display on the administrator interface bookmark view for a quick re-use.

As you don't always know when editors will need your bookmarks, bookmarks can also be accessed through the universal discovery widget, to be used "on the fly". At any time when they work within content, editors can now rely on their bookmarks, be it for embedding content in the online editor, adding a new relation with a content item or placing a media asset on a landing page.

We have no doubt that this feature will allow your editorial teams to be more efficient and save time as they deal with multiple content items.
